How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. The job normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere as small as Stanton St John, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
How to prepare

What fire rated sealant looks like in Stanton St John
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a building such as Wheatley Park School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For buildings such as Church of St John the Baptist, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Questions from Stanton St John
Will you come out to Stanton St John?
Yes. Stanton St John is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Islip station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. The order of work and access are planned with you.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We do not issue ratings or certificates ourselves. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer, and we install to them.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant and which one is used depends on the job.
Why it’s worth doing now in Stanton St John
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Stanton St John, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Stanton St John
Gaps also open up as buildings move: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
Rented homes near Islip station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
Before you book anyone
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What insurance they hold
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
